WHAT'S UP STACKERS...
It's hard to believe that today is the 15th Anniversary of my "STACKIN' Hummer" which I purchased in the Summer of 2003! ☀️
The Hummer is still in immaculate condition with only 47,000+ miles throughout the years. It's pretty hard to put on miles on a car if you work online for more than 20 years. 🤣
This is more than just about talking about a vehicle, it's more about being smart with your money (well kinda, this beast gets only 6 miles per gallon) haha.
This Hummer was purchased brand new for around $65,000 when it first came out. I'm not going to count all the additional $10,000 things that I added onto it like complete music package, tint, new 22"rims (expensive in 2003), remote windows and start etc... etc... (basic things you see today haha)
Hmmm, just wondering. Am I still the only person who's still bumpin' 90's music with "Four 12" Subwoofers" in the back seat? 🤣
Whatever, you can call me very old school but that's why I'm still cool like that....kinda. 😉
Getting back to my point, back in 2003.... Vehicles over 6000 LBS that were purchased was 100% tax decidable. In other words, the whole thing was a $75,000 tax right off. 😳
What a huge loophole, I always said knowledge is power.
I was even seeing entrepreneurers, athletes, and hip hop artist buying Hummers... Even Lebron James bought the same one that I had.
The STACKIN Hummer even gets even more compliments than $100,000 cars you see driving down the road.
Do these people know that this Hummer is probably only worth around $15k right now? They have no idea 🤷🏼♂️ lol.
I plan to drive this badboy until the wheels come off. The way I treat it, this STACKIN Hummer may last another 15+ years... crazy huh?
So what is the lesson learned here?
.... start learning to spend your hard earn money more wisely while still having the same feeling that you're living large.
I'm not saying be cheap and start clipping coupons but just buy quality things that you know that you will have for a very long time or better yet, invest it. ✨
You never know, in a few years when Steem become a household name... I might sell a few and buy me a STEEM LAMBO! Totally Kidding.... maybe? haha
Keep On STACKIN! 💞
